Format a 6TB HDD

Thamassi

Hello, 

 

i want to format a 6TB HDD to NTFS.

Every time I try to format that HDD it becomes a 5588.90GB RAW HDD.

And I can not find that drive in "My Computer".

 

 

What can i do to fix that?

you did not format it, you just created a partition, you have to go into disk management (hold windows key and hit run, then type in "diskmgmt.msc" and hit enter), once you see the RAW partition right click it and click format, then follow the steps.
